- GDESC:　　本標本吻肛長144.5公分，尾長148公分。
  　　成年灣鱷雄性體長可達5～6公尺，可重達300～400公斤，最大可超過1000公斤。雌性較小最大約4公尺，體重最大約200公斤左右。幼體淡褐色，全身分布有黑色的斑點或條紋。成體顏色較深，腹部淡黃色或白色。頸部背面沒有大型稜鱗，所以有「裸頸鱷」之稱。
  　　灣鱷原產於東南亞地區，喜棲息於在各種濕地，如河口、紅樹林、沼澤等地和潮間帶等。具領域性。鹹、淡水水域都可適應。體形大的成體會捕食大形的動物，如水牛、羊、野豬及猴子等，亦曾有吃人，及襲擊船隻的記錄，故有「食人鱷」之名。雌性灣鱷每次約產20-90枚蛋。孵化期約80日。
  　　唐代韓愈所寫的「祭鱷魚文」中所祭的應該就是灣鱷。
